Declining June 7 Heat In The U.S.

Over the past century, the percent of the US affected by hot weather on June 7 has declined. The five hottest June 11ths were 1933, 2011, 1952, 1963 and 1988.

On June 7, 1933, almost the entire eastern half of the US was over 90 degrees, and much was over 100 degrees.

Pipestone, Minnesota was 106 degrees. The Chicago area was over 100 degrees, with Hobart at 102 degrees. Today’s forecast at Hobart is 70 degrees.

According to government climate experts, 2016 was the hottest year ever – but there was very little heat last year on June 7.

For the entire year, the frequency of very hot days has declined almost 50% over the last century, with 2016 being one of the least hot summers on record in the US.

Heidi Cullen’s band of criminals at Climate Central claim that summers in the US are getting much hotter. For example, they claim that by the year 2100, Minneapolis will see a 12-degree rise in summer maximum temperatures.
